Miami lands another football commitment

According to multiple reports, Miami received a verbal commitment from New Jersey defensive tackle Hunter Knighton on Monday. He would be the 10th high school senior to publicly declare his intentions for the Hurricanes.

If you watch the Miami football team last year, you'd know that's an area with a real need for improvement.

A consensus 3-star prospect according to the major recruiting services, Knighton stands 6-foot-5 and weight 265. Scout ranked him 57th among defensive tackles nationally while he did not crack Rivals' rankings.

According to Scout, he visited Boston College, Boise State and Purdue before deciding on the Hurricanes. West Virginia was also reportedly involved in his recruitment.

The news comes on the same day that Miami coaches visited the nation's No. 1 linebacker, Reuben Foster, in Alabama.
